How to Boom a Town.

Western towns which have boom
on appreciate the power of the press.
The people of Tucson, Arizona, buy
5000 copies of their local paper every
month for the purpose of sending it
abroad, and in addition pay it 5000
month for special "write-ups."
The town of Lamar, COL, recently
paid the local paper $1,000 for a
"writ=up," and the citizens of Fort
Scott, Kan, have just spent $1,000
in advertising the town. Hutchinson,
Kansas, claims to give its local paper
bonus of $40, 900 for remaining a
live and kicking, while Newton,
Kansas, pays its paper $4,000 a
year. There is nothing at all improp-
er in this, as the money is paid for
legitimate advertising. On the con-
trary, it is very creditable to the citi-
zens of these towns that they thus en-
courage their local papers and at the
same time benefit themselves.-N. Y.

CHRISTMAS CAROL.
NY II, II. ALBEE.

IIarkl lIark IT'S the sound of an arehangers
song,
Caught up by the breeze horne swiftly along,
As itrings over valley and vale aud hill,
Proclamlng to man u Sovereigns will.
liark what do we hear in the cadences sweet,
Sounded abroad by AN archangel heetY
IT'S a note fun of joy of good will to man,
OF creation redeemed from SINS cruel ban;
lisa voice fun of praise TO the little Christ
child,
Laid low In a manager, amid cattle mild,
IL came to the shepherds attending their iiocks
All gently sleeping 'mong Palestine's rocks,
A flash from the heavens of dazzling light,
And u voice broke the stiffness OF solemnest
night,
"Peace, peace and good viii on earth to man
kind,
For low In manager the Christ child you find;
Arise ye, go to, watch the star which We see
The child sleeping under IS none other than He,
Arise, ye, go worship, tho travel you far,
And follow where leadcth yon glimmering STAR"
All. sweet was the sound of the hearalding
voice,
Bidding mankind In their freedom rejoice;
Bidding them look aloft to the Father above
Who swayeth from heaven the scepter of love.

Beyond a doubt our bosom friend,
Levi Fuller, is the greatest inventor
on earth. With his usual modesty
he has as much as saiu so himself.
1t is now conceded on all hands that
he suggested, if he did not actually
invent, the great solar system, and
it is well known that he keeps the
heavenly bodies in orderly motion
with his great ''equilateral tele-
scope" which he also invented. 1t
is all the more surprising, THEREFORE,
that he did not invent some way to
keep the breath of life in his own de-
funct little "daisy," up here, without
the aid of friends, subscribers, brains
or money. Such an invention woult
knock that famous old patched-ul
Arvid Dayton continuance out in M
